IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager

How IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager works

Enables multi-master clustering for flexibility, ease of use

IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager supports multi-master clustering, which means that security keys may be synchronized and delivered in real time, allowing for greater flexibility and ease of use. More than 20 masters may be synchronized at a time, allowing for hyper-redundancy and localized availability, so that keys are ready and available when and where they are needed.

Provides more efficient and simplified key management

The solution allows you to manage the lifecycle of keys by automating the creation, import, distribution and back-up of keys. It enables key generation and distribution from a centralized location and groups devices into separate domains for simpler key management. It also supports role-based access control of administrative accounts.

Extends support and compatibility functions

The solution supports KMIP v1.0-1.4 and initial profiles for v2.0 and interoperabiity with Linux on Power, Windows, Linux and AIX. It is compatible with IPP- and KMIP-compatible clients including IBM storage solutions, DB2 and VMware vCenter. PKCS#11 integration is available with popular hardware security modules (HSM) including the SafeNet Luna SA series of HSMs.
